The cure for hysteria was for doctors to bring women to orgasm

How to Get drunk for less than 1$/€

Edited by Qumah, Teresa, Tauseef_7, Peter and 4 others

Here's a "quick and dirty" way to make your own alcohol. No special equipment required. All you'll need is:

1. Pack of fresh yeast,
2. Plastic bottle,
3. 1/3 cup of sugar,
4. 2 Bananas, (optional)
5. Water.

Edit Steps

1
Get the ingredients. The most difficult thing to buy is 'fresh' yeast. It's the type of yeast people use for baking bread etc. Usually it comes in small, square packs. In many European countries you can buy them in your local supermarket. In countries like Britain and Ireland, you'll probably find them in Russian/German/Lithuanian/Polish/Hungarian/Slovak shops. I've read that in North America you're able to get them in some supermarkets. In the worst case try to contact a local bakery or pizza place they should have them as well. A small pack of yeast is around 50c or less.
2
Open your pack of yeast, break it into small pieces and put them into the bottle.
3
Add 1/3 cup of Sugar
4
[You don't have to do this] Blend 2 bananas with 2 cups of slightly warm water. Pour the liquid into the bottle.
5
Add 2 more cups of (slightly warm) water, close the bottle and shake it for 2-3 minutes.
6
Fill in the rest of the bottle with water, close it and shake it again for few seconds.

All you have to do now is leave it for 6-12 hours in a warm and dark place. MAKE SURE that you check on it every 2-3 hours. You'll notice that the bottle is growing bigger, release the excess air (it's actually CO2) once in a while. Do it VERY SLOWLY. See -> warnings below.
